Talk:XXIV Corps (United States)

U.S. Army history does not mention Fort Hood as the site of reactivation of XXIV Corps in 1968. XXIV Corps was reactivated by orders of General William Westmoreland in Saigon, and the reactivation was in Phu Bai, site of the already-existing Provisional Corps, Vietnam. (See http://www.history.army.mil/books/Vietnam/northern/nprovinces-ch4.htm). The article also does not mention that Provisional Corps, Vietnam was a redesignation of MACV Forward which was established during Tet of 1968. Gen, Westmoreland ordered its creation on 25 January 1968 under the command of Gen. Creighton Abrams. It deployed to Phu Bai on 9 February 1968. MACV Forward was redesignated as Provisional Corps, Vietnam on 10 March 1968, under the command of Lt. Gen. William B. Rosson. Lynn D.

Union Army = United States Army
The XXIV Corps of the Union Army is the same thing as the XXIV Corps of the United States Army. The XXIV Corps of the U.S. Army was activated during the American Civil War, World War II and the Vietnam War.
 * Per the U.S. Army they are not the same thing. The Army traces XXIV Corps' history back to World War II only. See "Army Corps, Divisions, and Separate Brigades" (Army Lineage Series) p. 106. Intothatdarkness 15:17, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
